Re: A/C radiator needed

Best option is the US

Re: Strip removal

Take care with the nut on the inside, the stud is about 2" long and if your not carefull you lose the nut. You need very small hands and all fingers to be double jointed to get it back

For reference the Denso AC Condenser cost me £132 including postage to the UK.


How long did it take from US?

Re: A/C radiator needed

Hold off for a short while, i work for a heat exchanger company and am waiting for a price on the core matrix. I sent my old unit as a sample to a company who make the cores today. Should be a lot cheaper than getting from the US and will be a direct replacement!

Re: Easy fix?

Doing the sills on mine didn't scare me one bit even when it was my first go!
Repairing them was a lot easier than I thought

Re: Driveshaft oil seals

Yeah I know, but at least I got £20 knocked off the price so can't complain. Just hope they get delivered tomorrow so I can get it all put back together

Re: Driveshaft oil seals

Decided to get them from toyota, only because they said I could have them next day. Went to pick them up and they hadnt been delivered :(
They did however give me a discount for the inconveniance, £14.95 each inc VAT and they will deliver :)
Really should have bought these before i dropped the engine!

Re: [Mk2] [NA] [mk2] Possible engine removal?

Dropped the engine, suprisingly it was quite straightforward. But i would reccomend using 2 skateboards http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a418/Simon_Lott/IMG_0977_zpscb30555c.jpg http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a418/Simon_Lott/IMG_09801_zps64ecd34e.jpg Drilled out the stripped studs and did a ...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] [mk2] Possible engine removal?

Didnt really want to go to this extreme!
But your right, i can clean / repair other bits a hell of a lot easier.
It was meant to be my daily drive so i could take my ford probe off the road and work on that.

[Mk2] [NA] [mk2] Possible engine removal?

Bought a import MK2 auto for £200 as apparantly all it needed was the water pump replacing, it came with the new pump and new belts which was nice! The guy I bought it off decided to remove the oil sump and exhaust downpipe for some strange reason. Also the sills are in a pretty bad way - hence £200...
